Perry Noble on The Frustrated Leader

No matter what we do, we can’t satisfy everyone.

David was the one of most extraordinary leaders in the Bible. David in 1 Samuel 16, was completely ignored because of the older generation. David learned, when no one was watching, a skill that propelled him to a place of leadership, how to sling stones.

There is no progress in leadership, unless we embrace the process of leadership. We have to get past yearning to get discovered and start yearning for God to develop us.

If you are gifted, you just use your gift, and the world will see you using your gift.

We all have been in a place where we think we are doing what we should be doing. But then you realize that people don’t like what you are doing or who you are reaching.

David was working for a leader that was very insecurity. He and Saul kept butting heads.

We don’t have to discover how to reach the next generation. They are going to discover how to reach themselves. God’s going to do something great with the next generation. We can either oppose it, and get passed over, or join it.

Here’s how we know David was a leader. He went somewhere and people followed. One of the greatest things about David, he NEVER dishonored Saul at any point.

The easiest thing to do when we are frustrated is to talk smack. But instead of talking about them, talk to God and ask him to MAKE you, to develop you.

Recently I was REALLY low on cash and debts were eating me from all sides! That was UNTIL I decided to make money.. on the internet! I went to surveymoneymaker dot net, and started filling in surveys for cash, and surely I’ve been far more able to pay my bills! I’m so glad, I did this.. With all the financial stress these years, I really hope all of you will give it a chance. – td10
